* YOU ARE INVITED TO THE FUTURE READY SCHOOLS WEBINAR*
Does My Collection Reflect My Community? Diversity in the School
Library   April
30, 2019 at 3:00 pm EDT


During the webinar, panelists will discuss the value of maintaining a book
collection that not only reflects the school community but also is
reflective of the global community of which we all are a part. Recognizing
that centering diversity means centering the stories, experiences, and
voices of historically marginalized people, including people of color,
indigenous voices, LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies, differently-abled
individuals, and neurodiverse voices.

Culturally responsive library programs take into account not only the
content and sensitivity of lessons and supporting materials, but also what
items are being purchased for the collection, what materials are being
displayed or recommended to the school community, what voices are invited
into the school or library for author visits or artists in residence, and
what impact the work taking place within the library has on the global
community.

The panelists will explore:

   1. What does “diverse” literature mean?
   2. What is the value of “own voices”?
   3. What would help dissolve your fear of being challenged for including
   a book in your library?
   4. Where do I start? How do I keep going? How do I question practices
   that I might have thought are best practices that may have revealed
   themselves to be hurting or marginalizing others?
   5. What is a diversity audit and how can information collected through a
   diversity audit inform future purchases for the library collection?
   6. What resources are available for becoming more aware of diverse books?
   7. What is the value of a diverse book collection to a class or school
   with a homogenous population?

*How School and District Leaders Can Create the Conditions for Innovation
and Change*

Leadership and school culture lay the foundation of successful schools. For
digital learning to thrive, school and district leaders need to create
conditions that empower teachers to take risks and try new things. Dr.
Suzanne Lacey shared the district’s progress over the past five years, how
they continue to overcome obstacles, and how rich digital opportunities are
leading to deeper learning experiences for students and higher achievement
results as a district.

Veteran Principal and Future Ready Advisor, Jimmy Casas, discussed how
school leaders create cultures of innovation in their schools. It’s no
secret that school and district leadership set the tone for such
transformation, but building trust, modeling the way, and creating a
culture of excellence remain vital for the change process to happen and be
sustainable over time. WATCH NOW

*A Perfect Match Future Ready Instructional Coaches and Future Ready
Librarians*

In this webinar, panelists discussed the powerful impact that results from
a partnership between instructional coaches and librarians when focus is
placed not on tool or device, but instead on the learning community. They
shared the examples of this partnership from the field highlighting
stories, swapping tips and inspiring all of us to go back and do the same
within our schools and districts. WATCH NOW
